TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of videos, and more particularly, to a method and an electronic device for quickly playing video.

BACKGROUND

At present, users conducts payments in mainly two manners. One is subscribing for the membership services, and by means of month-based payment, season-based payment and year-based payment, users may watch video having a high-definition frame quality without advertisement, and may enjoy the function of watching more films. The other is on-demand content-based payment, and some hot films are provided.

However, when users who do not subscribe for the membership watch video content provided for users who subscribe for the membership, due to lack of the authority of the membership, these users may only watch a short section of video content for free, and fail to normally watch the entire video content. These users can continue watching the video content if they pay for the membership and becomes a member or log into the video websites via member accounts. Upon successful payment for the membership, the users generally need to search again for previously watched videos, and then manually jump to an time node provided for free watching previously.
